In this episode, sports dietician Lindsey Elizabeth Cortes addresses common concerns about food-related stress and holiday weight gain for female athletes, advocating for a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity. Lindsey emphasizes the importance of integrating holiday foods into a balanced diet rather than restricting or overindulging.   Her two main tips are to shift to an abundant mindset, recognizing that holiday foods are available year-round, and to work these foods into daily nutrition plans.

Part 2: In the explosive conclusion of Tom Bilyeu's in-depth conversation with Destiny, the pair dive straight into the heart of American and global economic anxieties. Picking up the conversation midstream, they examine the crisis of US debt, deficit spending, and the looming consequences if America loses its economic dominance. Destiny challenges the myths around labor, productivity, and the decline of manufacturing, arguing that America's edge might not always be where politicians think it is. The conversation spirals into a confrontation over trade, international competition, and whether the populist backlash against globalization is truly justified. Tom and Destiny wrestle with the cultural and political magma of the Trump era—addressing authoritarian tendencies, threats to democratic norms, the danger of hyper-partisanship, and the ramifications of weaponizing government institutions. As they close, Destiny lays out his vision for restoring civil discourse—a strategy for holding both sides accountable and cultivating a more honest, functional public debate. This is a masterclass in unpacking the roots of America's polarization, with hard-hitting reflections on leadership, values, and what it truly means to steer a country toward a better future.

US Olympic Marathon Trials champion Fiona O'Keeffe joins us at 55:03 to break down her 4th-place finish at the NYC Marathon, how she rebounded from Olympic heartbreak, and what it's like training under Amy and Alistair Cragg. She opens up about her workouts, recovery from injury, and her long-term goals for 2026 and beyond. Before that, we dive into a wild week in track and field: USADA quietly banned Marvin Bracy, the 2022 World 100 m silver medalist, for nearly four years after he provided "substantial assistance" in a federal doping investigation involving the AIU and the DEA. The story first broke through former sprinter Rae Edwards (RaesTake), who claimed Bracy had been serving a secret suspension and said Bracy's then-coach Dennis Mitchell tipped off the authorities after Bracy confided in him about using a PED. The case has sparked major questions about transparency, informants, and how far USADA should go in keeping suspensions hidden. Plus, the IOC bans males from women's sports, Conner and Kylie Mantz headline the Two Cities Marathon, Elise Cranny may be training with Keely Hodgkinson in the UK, and much more.

Guest: Ken BurnsHe's an Award-Winning Filmmaker known for his documentary films and television series, many of which chronicle American history and culture. Some of his most popular works include the Civil War, Baseball, Jazz, the National Parks, Prohibition, the Roosevelts, the Vietnam War, and Country Music. Behind the majestic shots and carefully chosen words, there's another character always in the frame: the weather. From outracing clouds to chasing snow that just won't fall, even filmmaker Ken Burns has learned that Mother Nature doesn't always take direction. While shooting his newest series The American Revolution, weather wasn't just a backdrop — it was a full-fledged co-star. Today, we'll talk with Ken about the challenges and surprises of filming history in real weather, how climate and geography shaped the American Revolution, and why sometimes the best storyteller is the sky.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Ken Burns and His Work01:10 The Role of Weather in Filmmaking02:22 The American Revolution: A Complex Narrative04:19 Challenges of Capturing Weather in Filmmaking07:14 The Importance of Authenticity in Storytelling09:36 Weather's Impact on Historical Events12:13 Technological Advancements and Their Influence14:27 The Unpredictability of History17:31 The Drama of Real Weather in StorytellingSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if your investments did more than earn returns—what if they helped shape the culture for good?Today, we'll explore how your money can not only grow but also advance God's purposes in the world. Brian Mumbert joins us from Timothy Plan to share how faith-based investing allows believers to engage the culture with an eternal impact.Brian Mumbert is the President of Timothy Plan, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.Giving That Flows from FaithAt the heart of Timothy Plan's mission is a conviction that money is not merely a financial tool but a spiritual one. Timothy Partners, Ltd.—the advisor to Timothy Plan—tithes its profits to support ministries aligned with biblical values.Those partnerships reflect a desire to be active on the other side of Timothy Plan's investment screens. In other words, it's not enough to avoid investing in companies that exploit, harm, or oppose biblical principles. True stewardship involves using financial influence to protect life, defend freedom, equip biblical entrepreneurs, and strengthen families.This commitment is not theoretical—it's deeply practical.In Central Florida, Timothy Plan partners with organizations such as Choices Women's Clinic, the area's largest pro-life pregnancy center, as well as House of Hope Orlando and the Orange County Jail Ministry. Nationally, their reach extends through partnerships with organizations like Movieguide and Florida Family Voice.Through the Kairos Prize, Timothy Plan helps fund aspiring Christian filmmakers with seed capital to develop their projects. Another powerful partnership is with the Nehemiah Project, which equips entrepreneurs worldwide to start and grow businesses based on biblical principles.A Legacy of Business as MinistryTimothy Plan's founder, Art Ally, was inspired by the legendary Christian industrialist R.G. LeTourneau, who dedicated 90% of his income to God's work. LeTourneau often said, “I shovel out the money, and God shovels it back—but God's got a bigger shovel.”That philosophy continues to shape Timothy Plan's culture. They see business as ministry, and since we are all stewards of God's money, we want to ensure it has an eternal impact.For many investors, the idea that their portfolio could be shaping the culture might feel new. But as an investor, we really need to understand where our dollars are going. When we invest with a biblical worldview, we're not just seeking a return—we're influencing what gets built, produced, and promoted in our world.This approach aligns with the broader mission of Timothy Plan: to provide investment options that reflect the values of faith-driven investors and to mobilize generosity that brings light into dark places. The impact of this approach is tangible. You can see the joy on their faces and the difference these ministries are making—locally in Central Florida and across the nation.At FaithFi, we share that conviction: when you invest with purpose, your portfolio can do more than generate returns—it can help bring redemption and renewal to our culture.To learn more about biblically responsible investing and how your financial stewardship can make an eternal impact, visit TimothyPlan.com.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm planning to retire in 2027 and want to move my deferred compensation. How do I go about that? And should I also get life insurance when I retire?My wife and I just bought a home with a 6.188% adjustable-rate mortgage for three years. Should we refinance now into a 30-year fixed, or wait to see if rates come down?I'll start receiving my full Social Security benefits in December.

Risk vs Pleasure Series Ep 165 Description:  "If you are focused on the risk, or you're worried or you're anxious about what's going to go wrong, that is taking up too much of your brain. We need to deal with it and put it into perspective so that we can clear the path to joy and pleasure." —Dr. Sara Wickham   Pregnancy is supposed to be a time of wonder, but too often the first word that comes up is "risk". Suddenly, every choice feels like a warning sign, and joy gets pushed into the background. No one talks about how heavy that constant fear can feel—or how much it steals from the confidence and pleasure that should be part of the journey. After decades as a midwife, researcher, and lecturer, Dr. Sara Wickham saw how the medical model's focus on risk overshadowed women's voices and experiences. Now, through her books and the Birth Information Project, she's breaking down the numbers and challenging the myths, showing women that evidence doesn't have to be scary—it can be liberating. In this conversation, Debra and Sara unpack how risk talk shapes pregnancy, why many "warnings" don't match the actual evidence, and how women can reclaim joy, confidence, and even pleasure in birth—including insights from her new book Plus Size Pregnancy. Expect tools, clarity, and a refreshing reminder that pregnancy isn't just about minimizing danger—it's about living the experience fully.   Connect with Debra!

Glenn Wiggle, Mike Hoeflich, and Mike Sperrazza dive into the real fallout of Washington's latest government shutdown—and the hypocrisy behind politicians still cashing paychecks while everyday Americans go without. From bloated regulations driving up healthcare costs to the failures of Obamacare, the hosts call out both parties for their inaction and lack of leadership.

Picture it. You're about to dive into yet another strategy planning session with your team. You've got the flip charts, the markers, the frameworks, the best intentions… and a sinking feeling that this is going to end up just like last time—disconnected, circular, and unclear. Somewhere along the way, you've probably heard that storytelling can help. But not so fast. My guest today, Brett Davidson, is here to turn that idea on its head. He's the founder and principal of Wingseed, where he helps foundations and nonprofits around the world use narrative, storytelling, listening, and creativity for social justice. He also serves as the Narrative Lead at IRIS (International Resource for Impact and Storytelling), a donor collaborative advancing narrative strategies for impact. Brett brings a powerful reframe for how we think about storytelling in organizations—and it's one that will completely reshape how you approach strategy, identity, and meaning-making on your team. Before my conversation with Brett, I was an enthusiastic promoter of individual storytelling in organizations. But Brett helped me see the limits of that approach and the need to move from me stories to we stories—from storytelling to storylistening.

Two articles caught our attention. The first was in The Hollywood Reporter about a new movie theater concepts with private rooms and high end food in New York. The second was a story about the power of IMAX in the movie industry, per the Wall Street Journal.  In this episode, Joe Pine, Aransas Savas, and Dave Norton discuss the evolving landscape of the movie theater experience, particularly in light of the pandemic's impact. They explore new concepts in Hollywood, such as premium movie theaters and IMAX, and how these innovations cater to changing consumer preferences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of customization, personalization, and the need for theaters to create engaging experiences that resonate with audiences. The hosts also provide valuable insights for experience strategists on how to adapt to these trends and enhance the overall consumer experience. Takeaways The pandemic significantly impacted the movie theater industry, leading to a decline in attendance. Premiumization is a key trend in the film industry, focusing on enhancing the overall experience. Customization and personalization are crucial for attracting audiences back to theaters. Consumers decide the 'when' or the situation, then watch the movie Theaters need to innovate and create engaging environments to compete with home viewing. Experience strategists should measure the money value of time (MVT) in their offerings. The integration of social components can enhance the movie-going experience.

How does something as simple as a five-star rating system reveal subtle biases?When she's not teaching MBA and undergraduate students at Rice Business, Professor Sora Jun studies the hidden forces that shape how we see and treat one another. Her work explores how our minds process inequality and how even small design choices, like switching from stars to thumbs-up icons, can make systems fairer. Host Brian Jackson '21 sits down with Sora to discuss her research on the hidden bias of gig worker ratings, what she loves most about teaching at Rice, the findings of her latest paper and how her background has shaped her work. Episode Guide:00:00 Introduction to Sora Jun, Ph.D.00:58 Journey From Finance To Organizational Behavior02:20 Impact of Diverse Upbringing on Research05:05 Teaching Experience and Philosophy08:52 Research on Bias and Inequality17:50 Framing Inequality: Advantage vs. Disadvantage24:34 Exploring Anti-Asian Discrimination29:17 Future Research Directions30:56 Teaching Across Different Programs32:20 Final Thoughts and TakeawaysThe Owl Have You Know Podcast is a production of Rice Business and is produced by University FM.Episode Quotes:How embracing insecurity helped Dr. Sora on her research23:32: It actually took me a while to really feel like I had enough legitimacy in standing and studying this in some ways, because I felt like I did not really have the real, like, Asian American experience, given that I have been in so many different circles and I'm hearing so many different stories about what it means to be Asian for different people. But I think really embracing that insecurity almost was useful because I think it just made me dig in deeper and realize that might be part of that Asian experience—feeling like there are so many different kinds of Asian experiences. I'm sure this is similar for other groups as well, but I think I've just become more appreciative of just asking people, like, what's this been like for you? I started to do more qualitative-oriented work because of this, and I think that is helping me sort of reaffirm my own, I guess, standing and studying this topic.Why the way we talk about inequality matters14:52 [Brian Jackson]: Why does framing matter so much when talking about pay gaps or wealth disparities?16:08 [Sora Jun]: So, framing of inequality matters because even though what is being talked about is logically equivalent for an advantage or disadvantage frame, people understand it to be very different. And then they focus on different, I guess, objects.On balancing the fairness of the gains of a binary system with the loss of nuance13:36 [Sora Jun]: I think that's a really tricky part. I do think it is a challenge if we were to imagine changing all these numerical rating scales to dichotomy scales. We would lose a lot of the fine-grained information. So it probably depends a lot on the context. I think from our study, what we were finding was that the ratings using a five-point scale were already quite inflated, so there was not actually a ton of fine-grained information to be had from even the five-point scale information.Show Links: TranscriptGuest Profile:Sora Jun | Rice Business

“Sapiens is an idea, first of all, that we can perform at a high level and at the same time work in harmony with our biology.” - Jan Philipp MartiniHave you noticed some people seem to thrive under pressure while others slowly burn out?

So, it's like, how can you speed up creating better multiple-choice tests, right? Or how could you grade all these papers that you've got to grade, right? Well, maybe the outcome for that class isn't that you should write a paper in the first place, right? But now is our chance to ask that. And I know this is frustrating for faculty…[28:61] But it's a good opportunity for us to, but then it's been frustrating to have all these edtech ventures come out where it's like, “But AI could make all the things better!” And it's like, yeah, but you're talking about making traditional education faster, cheaper, more productive. You're not talking about helping people learn better.What's a better question for AI in education11:16: Maybe the answer for AI is not what can you have the AI do that you used to do, as much as what can I do even more of or even better. And I think that's a good mindset for us to be in, in education.The pandemic digital experience15:34: I think you have two things that people tend to say about the pandemic digital learning experience. One is that it was horrible, and they'd never want to do it again. Then, for those who knew about online learning or had done it before the pandemic, they'll say, “Well, that's because no one did it right,” quote unquote. And I think we can honor both of those viewpoints. But I'd also say that we learned a few things, right? One thing is most faculty learned how to use the LMS and Zoom. And if you think back pre-COVID, how many people could launch a webinar or call a virtual meeting, right? And how many staff did it take to set up a global web conference? It was incredibly expensive. It took a lot of time. You had to schedule it, and now people just trigger these things, right? I think the second thing we learned is that hybrid work can definitely work. And I've gone on record a few times saying that the future of work maybe parallels the future of hybrid and online learning.Show Links:Rice Digital Learning and StrategyRice AlumniAssociation of Rice Alumni | FacebookRice Alumni (@ricealumni) | X (Twitter)Association of Rice Alumni (@ricealumni) | Instagram Host Profiles:David Mansouri | LinkedInDavid Mansouri '07 | Alumni | Rice UniversityDavid Mansouri (@davemansouri) | XDavid Mansouri | TNScoreGuest Profiles:Shawn Miller | Faculty ProfileShawn Miller | LinkedIn ProfileShawn Miller | Social Profile on X

Shutdown Status & Deal Progress The shutdown began on October 1 and is now at day 41. A bipartisan deal involving Republicans, President Trump, and eight moderate Democrats is close to passing. The deal would: Reopen the government until January 30. Fund programs like SNAP (food stamps), veterans benefits, and other federal services. Reverse layoffs of federal workers and block further firings until January 30. Commit to a future vote on extending Obamacare subsidies. Impact on Air Travel there are severe flight cancellations and delays due to air traffic controller shortages. FAA ordered airlines to cut flights by 4%, with Delta canceling nearly 500 flights and United following similar measures. President Trump ordered all air traffic controllers back to work and threatened pay docking for absentees, while promising $10,000 bonuses for those who worked through the shutdown. Political Dynamics Democrats are deliberately prolonging the shutdown for leverage. Internal Democratic Party civil war: Criticism of Chuck Schumer’s leadership. Calls from Democrats and media figures for Schumer to step down. Growing influence of progressive wing (e.g., Bernie Sanders, AOC faction). Republicans argue Democrats used Americans as “leverage” in a political game. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.
